Q You were joking about solar, right?

THE PRESIDENT: No, not joking, no. There is a chance that we can do a solar wall. We have major companies looking at that. Look, there’s no better place for solar than the Mexico border -- the southern border. And there is a very good chance we can do a solar wall, which would actually look good. But there is a very good chance we could do a solar wall.

One of the things with the wall is you need transparency. You have to be able to see through it. In other words, if you can’t see through that wall -- so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what’s on the other side of the wall.

And I’ll give you an example. As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them -- they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over. As cray as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs.

Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.

By the way, he also that "the Wall"we have (aka a fence) mostly just needs to be "fixed" because it's in bad shape and that we don't really need a 2,000 mile wall because of mountains and stuff. Who knew?

The people who voted for him on the basis of this problem won't care because really they just wanted to chant like a bunch of brainwashed cultists at his rallies and insult Mexicans. It was all about gathering together in one place to worship a moron who was willing to say out loud all the ugly, bigoted thoughts running through their own small, cramped minds.
